This report identifies the Ohio & Erie Canal Corridor resources and analyzes its significance as an area affiliated with the National Park Service. In fiscal year 1991, Congress appropriated $175,000 for the National Park Service to study the Ohio & Erie Canal Corridor, an area which includes canal lands in Cuyahoga, Summit, and Stark Counties, and a portion of Tuscarawas County; associated landscapes; communities; and related resources. The study’s purpose is to provide information to Congress to guide decisions concerning the future of the corridor. This study identifies corridor resources and analyzes the national significance of the corridor, and its suitability and feasibility for inclusion as an affiliated area of the National Park Service or as a unit of a potential National Heritage Partnership system. The study also examines alternative management frameworks to preserve and manage these resources.
